Restart a VM in a lab in Azure DevTest Labs

  • Artikkeli

You can quickly and easily restart a virtual machine in DevTest Labs by following the steps in this article. Consider the following before restarting a VM:

  • The VM must be running for the restart feature to be enabled.

  • If a user is connected to a running VM when they perform a restart, they must reconnect to the VM after it starts back up.

  • If an artifact is being applied when you restart the VM, you receive a warning that the artifact might not be applied.
